So Qov is going to say:
Yeah, he's right. Until you've felt it, you don't know the emotional
value of being in a room full of people who not tolerate but
genuinely appreciate the work you've put into learning tlhIngan Hol.
So here I go again crossing three time zones and an international
border so I can headbutt everyone, trade horrible puns and biting
insults, eat with my hands in public, scream "tlhIngan maH!" and hear
it echoed by a crowd of tlhIngan warriors, get laughed at for finding
uses for words no one else bothered to memorize, get laughed at again
when I put the wrong prefixes on them, and have a screamingly good
time with a bunch of truly interesting people.
And I have a roommate already. Pity her. :)
